Paloma Faith wants to star in 'The Handmaid's Tale'

Speaking to SFX magazine, she said: "I'd love to be in 'The Handmaid's Tale'. I studied it at A-level. The directing and writing's impeccable.

"Same for 'Euphoria'. If they do 'Fleabag' series three, I want to be in it!"

The 38-year-old star first rose to fame as a musician, and she opened up on the idea of splitting both careers as she tries to show there's more to her than any one discipline.

She added: "It's been great to show people that I'm not just a pop star trying to take as many opportunities as I can. I'm serious about it.

"So I don't know about [splitting acting and singing] 50/50. At some point I'd like 80/20, other times 20/80! It depends.

"I'm lucky that I don't have to be a jobbing actor who takes any role because I've got rent to pay. I can afford to only do the things I want."

While Paloma has been described as a "theatrical" performer, she insisted everyone is "playing a role in life" while they take influence from the world around them.

She explained: "I think everything's theatre. When I did my Masters in set design and scenography [at London's Central Saint Martins], I read a lot of Antonin Artaud.

"'The Theatre and its Double' is his famous book. It's all about everybody playing a role in life.

"You adopt stereotypes and nuances based on social, predestined ideas of what you'd behave like. I'm a theatrical person per se, I react passionately to everything."
